Recipe: Churro Protein Packed Oatmeal

Oatmeal is a breakfast staple for many, offering a nutritious, hearty start to the day. But what if you could supercharge your oatmeal with a dose of protein to keep you energized and full until lunch? Here's a recipe for protein-infused oatmeal that's easy to make and customizable to your taste. This breakfast option is perfect for anyone looking to add more protein to their morning routine without sacrificing flavor or texture.

Why Add Protein Powder to Oatmeal?

Adding protein to oatmeal provides several benefits:

• Enhanced Satiety: Protein helps you feel fuller for longer, reducing the urge to snack between meals.
• Balanced Macros: By combining carbs and protein, you create a balanced meal that fuels your body and helps stabilize blood sugar levels.
• Muscle Recovery: Protein is essential for muscle repair and growth, making this oatmeal ideal for post-workout breakfasts.

Protein-Infused Churro Oatmeal Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup rolled oats
• 1 scoop of Biohealth's Churro Precision Blend protein powder 
• 1 cup water or milk (dairy or non-dairy, like almond or oat milk)
• 1/2 banana, sliced
• 1 tablespoon nut butter (peanut, almond, or cashew)
• Sweetener to taste (like honey, maple syrup, or stevia)
• Optional toppings: Fresh berries, chopped nuts, chia seeds, or coconut flakes

Instructions:

1. Cook the Oats: In a saucepan, combine the rolled oats and water or milk. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats are cooked to your desired consistency.
2. Add the Protein Powder: Once the oats are cooked, remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the protein powder. Mix until fully incorporated. If the oatmeal becomes too thick, add a splash of milk to achieve the desired consistency.
3. Add Banana and Nut Butter: Stir in the sliced banana and nut butter. This adds extra creaminess and a boost of healthy fats.
4. Sweeten to Taste: If needed, add your preferred sweetener. Keep in mind that some protein powders are already sweetened, so you might not need much.
5. Add Optional Toppings: Serve the oatmeal in a bowl and top with your favorite toppings. Fresh berries, chopped nuts, chia seeds, or coconut flakes are great options to add flavor and texture.
6. Enjoy!
